I think I may know what your problem is. The Amiga loaded pulls apart an
object module into hunks at load time. Some (read XModem) protocols pad
out a transfer to an even multiple of bytes which end up getting tacked 
on to the end of the file. The Amiga telecom packages know to remove this
(chop mode). The Atari probably isn't doing this for you and neither is 
Dos2Dos (it shouldn't). A pd program called tailrid can be useful in these
cases, either that or maybe a more sophisticated protocol (ZModem).

			Good Luck
